Brahmanand S Siingh, Director, Pancham Unmixed shares, ‘I relate to R. D. Burman completely. So I took up the huge task of making a lyrical and definitive film on him. The process was a long winding one, took me practically 3 years of active work to get all of them together and over 1500 hours of edit time, to make the structure and narrative as gripping and seamless as possible. The journey has no doubt, been a fascinating one and the entire experience, a very defining one.’

Added Hiren Gada, Director, Shemaroo Entertainment, ‘Pancham Unmixed is undoubtedly a passion product. The passion behind the launch of this Collectors Edition DVD is obvious from its packaging, marketing strategy, the coffee table book and the promotions. It is our homage to a great music composer who has given so much to the world. Pancham Unmixed is yet another jewel in our catalogue.’
